Chapter 55: Face me! Bastard!

Duncan now has to rest for two days.

Although his injuries from the battle with the sea monster, the giant snake, weren't serious, he went into a frenzy, entering a state of weakness and fatigue that lasted a day and a night. He also had some injuries to his waist and abdomen, and by the time he returned home in the middle of the night, the skin on his waist was rubbed raw, requiring him to apply some medicine and rest properly.

After all, reality is not Valhalla.

The aftereffects of Duncan's rampage were quite severe. He went straight into a reckless state and completely lost the concept of fear.

They dare to touch anything and cut anything.

He took on two giant sea snakes alone, which was a bit risky, but once the fury started, there was no way back, and he had to fight his way out. Fortunately, his strength was at its best, and the two two-star silver-gray sea snakes were no match for him, and he even had enough energy left for another fight.

"My lord is injured?"

Galavan's face changed when he saw Duncan coming back holding his waist. He hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked, "Did the lord fight with the giant monster?"

Galavan and others have their own opinions on Duncan's insistence on coming to Northern Europe to kill monsters.

The North Germanic peoples highly valued personal prowess. A warrior who slew a legendary monster easily earned the respect of their fellow warriors, even attracting numerous followers and challengers. According to Germanic tradition, slaying Beowulf would make one the next legendary hero. The bard would spread the story of his deeds far and wide, and gradually, the legend grew into influence, even swaying the power of real kingdoms.

If Duncan had the reputation of a legendary hero in Northern Europe, it would be easier for him to recruit barbarian foreign legions in the future.

His reputation was enough to make many barbarian warriors surrender and follow him.

Legends from other places might not spread that far, but the monsters killed here were definitely heard by the barbarian warriors.

Galavan felt that Lord Duncan had great ambitions.

"fine."

Duncan shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to help. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "The giant monster is still sleeping soundly in the cave. I went to the seaside to investigate and encountered two giant sea snakes."

"Kill them all."

"Go find some people to drag back the body of the sea monster snake and see if it can help."

"correct."

"Using my alias here, um, let's call it Beowulf."

Give the younger generation a little shock.

I will tell you my real name when I leave the Nordic region. I’d better be a little careful now.

Giant sea monster snake?
Did the lord go looking for trolls? And killed two legendary sea monsters?
Galaven looked shocked, and had no doubt that he had seen Duncan charging into the midst of thousands of troops with his own eyes. In the Germanic legend, for such a fierce man, it was nothing to stroll by the seaside and kill two sea monsters.

Even if he saw the Valkyrie from the Norse legend personally pouring wine for the adults one day, Galaven would not be surprised.

The small fishing village was in an uproar.

After dozens of adult men dragged the more than ten-meter-long sea monster's corpse ashore, the rumor spread in all directions like the wind. People felt jubilant, as if a hero from the mythological era had returned, and the giant monster that threatened mortal lives would probably be killed by it soon.

Duncan only stayed in the village for one day and entered the forest the next day.

no way.

German women were too passionate and unrestrained, and he had already attracted attention.

The two giant sea snakes each gave a special ability.

——"Snake Blood - Toxin Immunity (Special Ability): You are immune to all conventional natural toxins. Only supernatural poisons can be effective against you, but you still have a certain resistance to toxins."

"Fear Gaze (Special Ability): This is a monster's special ability. When you gaze at a target, any creature may feel a tremor of fear. It is considered a supernatural ability. When used on some creatures, the effect is equivalent to suppressing those higher up in the food chain, making the target completely afraid to fight back, or even fleeing."

One of the sea monster snakes was one-eyed and its head was smashed to pieces, so he didn't observe it carefully.

Once Duncan went into a frenzy, even his sense of pain was weakened a lot.

"Supernatural creatures still give more abilities."

Legendary status has not changed.

Perhaps the status of the sea monster giant snake is not high enough, so the legends are probably all with the kraken, unable to gather the true and long-lasting legendary level. In the Nordic region, a strong man killing a few sea monsters is really not a big deal, and it can easily be confused with the bragging rumors in the tavern.

The day passed quickly.

After sleeping for two full days, the giant monster lurking in the underground cave finally came out. It had a bald head without any hair and looked a bit like a giant hunchbacked caveman. It was about four meters tall and not as big as the giant that human No. 2 encountered.

But it should not be a pure giant bloodline, because the stratum corneum of its skin is like scales, and it is probably a hybrid of some monster.

Its cave was very dark and filled with the corpses of cattle, sheep, horses and humans.

This monster likes to be active in the dark.

After it walked out of the cave, it headed towards the village where humans gathered. It looked quite clumsy, but it walked very fast, faster than an ordinary person could run.

"Big in size, fast in running."

"Change of plans."

“Although the goal is not flexible, sprinting in a straight line should not be slow.”

Duncan kept his distance and observed from a God's perspective, and saw that the guy was heading straight towards a village.

Northern Europe in the Middle Ages was still very desolate, with dense forests everywhere. In addition, the Germanic people did not develop the land very well and the population was relatively small. It can be said that many places were wilderness areas, which were easy to breed supernatural monsters.

The monster went to the village where Duncan settled. It seemed to be very sensitive to sounds, and the noise of people's noisy and reveling attracted it.

At first glance, it looks a bit like Grendel. "How many children did that monster's mother give birth to? Could there be other half-giants besides Grendel? Could this be one of them?"

do not care.

Let’s find a way to kill this one first.

The giant monster headed straight towards the village, and soon a woman's shrill scream was heard under the night sky.

Ah!
A man who looked like a fisherman was grabbed with one hand and swung to the ground by one foot. With a "pa pa", he was silent in the blink of an eye. The giant monster ignored the counterattack of ordinary villagers. Even the barbarian warriors found it difficult to break its skin, as if it was wearing heavy armor. It rushed around like an adult punching a kindergartener, and easily defeated everyone.

This is the true power of a giant.

The monster swept through the entire village, killing more than a dozen people in just a few minutes. It held the body of a fat man in its right hand, and smashed a calf to death with its left fist. Then it put the calf on its back, stomped on the burning bonfire, turned around and disappeared into the night.

It all seemed like a normal hunt to it.

"If there were only monsters like this, life would be hard for humans in the mythological era!"

Duncan had caught up. He stood on the treetop, put an arrow on the bow, and shot an arrow, which hit the monster's head directly. The diameter of the giant monster's head was about thirty or forty centimeters, so it was not difficult to aim. However, its skull was particularly thick, and even the armor-piercing arrow did not seem to do much damage.

"Who?!"

"Who attacked me!" (Giant)
The monster roared in pain and even threw away the human corpse in his hand.

call out!
The sharp arrow broke through the air.

The next second it covered its eyes and screamed miserably: "Ah!... My eyes... despicable..."

This blow caused it to be seriously injured.

But at this time Duncan had been exposed. He thought there would be a big battle, but he didn't expect that the giant monster would look at him and turn around and run away.

Visible to the naked eye.

The monster's health began to slowly recover bit by bit. Although the speed was not fast, it was only a little bit at a time, but it was the first time Duncan had seen someone recovering health in battle. If it was allowed to rest for a night, it might even recover from its serious injuries.

What the hell?

It actually ran away?
Duncan was about to take out the Flan Flying Axe, but the giant monster rushed over very quickly. He could only shoot three arrows at most, then immediately changed to the Flan Flying Axe, and then activated the Great Rage, and raised the Oathkeeper to fight the giant monster head-on.

But it turned around and ran away, which was not part of Duncan's plan.

Aren't giants usually quite reckless?

"Is it because my legend level is too high?"

Duncan landed and chased after him.

In fact, it was not the case. Instead, he had the smell of a giant sea monster and snake on him. The giant smelled a hint of the scent of other monsters, and it was the smell of a recently dead monster, and there was even a bit of the smell of a siren mixed in.

This made it feel uneasy and frightened, as if the other party was not a mortal.

Something is wrong!
It was not running towards its cave, it was running towards a lake.

not good!

The monster wants help.

Duncan really didn't expect that he could scare it away. The pursuit all the way consumed a lot of his stamina. Fortunately, he had a God's perspective and could take a shortcut. The monster was huge in size, and it was inconvenient for it to enter the forest, so he was slowly caught up by him.

The giant monster looked back and saw Duncan approaching rapidly in the darkness like a ghost. The next second, he let out a terrified scream!

This is completely the opposite.

Just as it had been so brave when it slaughtered the village before, it was now so fearful.

Don't come over here!

The giant monster grabbed a stone and threw it over. It had almost no fighting skills and relied entirely on instinct and great strength to create miracles.

call out!
Duncan changed his tactics. He picked up Norden's bow, pulled out an armor-piercing arrow, and shot it directly at the enemy's knee.

In this case, the legs must be crippled first.

His original battle plan was to close the distance and use the flange throwing axe to chop the enemy's thigh and knee.

thump.

The giant stumbled and was hit by an arrow in the knee. The arrowhead pierced the armor and pierced into the bone, making it scream in pain. People wondered if it had reached adulthood. After all, according to legend, dwarves only reach adulthood at the age of fifty, so it would probably take a giant many years too.

The frost giant that Human No. 2 saw was much taller than many adult warriors.

"MOM!..."

The monster uttered a strange and vague syllable, grabbed a small tree and used it as a weapon to rush towards Duncan.

It found that it could not escape and was ready to fight Duncan to the death.

That's right!
You were so brave in dealing with mortals before, why did you run away when you met him?

Come and fight!

Face me, you bastard!
